Princely servants

Almost all our rulers have always claimed: “We are not masters of the masses. We are their servants. The masses are our masters. Our only obligation is to serve them.” But there is something extremely mysterious about these “servants”. As a universal tradition, the wages of a servant are determined by the employer. But the Pakistani rulers who claim themselves to be “servants” are a unique breed of servants. It is not their “masters” i.e., the masses who determine their salaries. It is the “servants” who themselves determine their emoluments. And the emoluments which they pay themselves are phenomenally so high that virtually nothing is left in the treasury for the “masters”.

Since nothing is left for the “masters”, their very survival becomes impossible. They keep dying of starvation. And if starvation prolongs its tortures, they commit suicide. Thus starvation and suicides are the gifts of the “servants” to their “masters”. The poverty problem of our masses can be solved overnight. Let the masses determine the remunerations of the rulers. Things would improve magically.
